Technically, maybe I learned most of all from George Stevens, and among his movies I learned the most from 'A Place in the Sun.' It's a lesson in moviemaking.

But most of what I've learned about acting - and a lot of what I've learned about life in the past seven years - was taught to me by Robert Altman.

I learned so much about being an actor by being a director. More than I ever thought I would.

I actually got hurt in a steel factory in 1985 and so that changed my life. I went to a junior college and that's where I discovered acting.

I hardly knew anything when I first arrived. I had to learn how to act as I went along. After about a year I got a grip on what acting was all about and it started coming straight from my heart; I wasn't just saying the words any longer.

I learned much more about acting from philosophy courses, psychology courses, history and anthropology than I ever learned in acting class.

I had to study acting to basically educate myself.

I'm a young actor and I haven't learned everything there is about acting.

I learned so much by being an actor, and part of my sort-of development as a writer is big thanks to the scripts I read in my acting life.
